Just curious...
Is there a single textbook (excluding freshman physics books and encyclopedias) that beats MTW Gravitation in its thickness (either ruler-measured or page number-wise)?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Math Methods for Physics & Engineering, Riley et al.
 
Mahan's text in Many Body Physics is around 1000 pages and is the thickest book I've tried to read in a couple of years.
 
I glued the first five editions of James Stewart Calculus together. Does that count?
 
MTW is a beast, But Lakowicz "Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy" is at least the same size, and Slattery's "Interfacial Transport Phenomena" has about 1200 pages.
 
Carroll - A modern introduction to astrophysics, is about 1300pages.

I own it, very good book
